Royal Palace of North Vietnam.

Emperor Ying received a letter from Lucheng via carrier pigeon and summoned all his ministers.

"General Lu sent a letter saying that the Kingdom of Xiling asked for peace and did not want to fight any further." Emperor Ying glanced at his ministers.

"Your Majesty, the Xiling Kingdom provoked a war and massacred more than 5,000 people from our two villages. How can we just let them fight and stop as they please?" Minister of War Qin Mu said loudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the barbarians and lowly people like Xiling and Dongxia should have been eradicated long ago. We in North Vietnam have always been friendly to others and have never bullied or invaded other countries. This time Xiling massacred our North Vietnamese people. I think it is a good opportunity for North Vietnam to expand its territory. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" Ye Ke, the Minister of War, also said.

Some ministers also opposed it, saying that since Xiling Kingdom asked for peace, they should be given a chance. If the war continued, it would be of no benefit to anyone.

Although Emperor Ying felt that Qin Mu and Ye Ke were right, he never liked war. After hesitating for a moment, he discussed with his ministers again and again and finally decided that peace talks were acceptable, but Xiling Kingdom had to cede three cities to Beiyue Kingdom as compensation.

After receiving the reply from Emperor Ying, Lu Ting sent people to Shilong Village to inform Xie Daorun.

Xie Daorun was stunned for a long time after reading the letter, secretly cursing Ye Mengtian in his heart, saying that he had lost more than he gained. He did not dare to delay and hurried back to Xiling State to inform Ye Mengtian.

After hearing this, Ye Mengtian's face turned pale and he punched the desk, making a hole in it.

"Too deceiving!"

"After all, we were wrong. We shouldn't have massacred the two villages of Shilong and Yufeng." Zheng Zecheng, the Prince's tutor, said. He had always disagreed with provoking a war, but Ye Mengtian refused to listen to anyone at the time.

Xie Daorun sighed and said, "Your Majesty, if you really want a truce, you can only agree to North Vietnam's conditions."

Ye Linglong stepped forward and said, "Father, don't worry. Sooner or later, I will get back our losses with interest!"

Ye Mengtian seemed to have aged ten years at this moment. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. Give it to them!" After that, he got up and went back to his bedroom, leaving behind a lonely figure.

In the following days, Xie Daorun allocated three cities to Beiyue Kingdom, sent Ye Linglong to Lucheng, and asked her to go back to Yunjun City with Lu Ting. Ye Linglong wanted to go with Chu Xingluo, but during the conversation, she found out that Ye Mengtian did not tell her the real purpose of going to Beiyue Kingdom. In addition, she remembered Chu Xingluo's attitude of ignoring her these days, so she decided to go with Lu Ting to Yunjun City to meet the Emperor of Beiyue and directly ask the Emperor to grant her marriage.

Lu Ting made arrangements for Lucheng, Hecheng and Shicheng, and also sent garrisons and troops to the three cities that Xiling State had given up. After all the arrangements were completed, he set off to return to Yunjun City.

In Lion City, Xia Taoyuan had not fully recovered yet. Chu Xingluo was afraid that she was too tired, so he decided to wait for another three to five days until Xia Taoyuan was fully recovered before setting off. He asked Ximen Huan to lead the army first, and Qingyun Longyan and others would stay with him.

Ximen Huan passed the order and packed up and set off for home early tomorrow morning. The soldiers began to pack up, and the assassin who assassinated Chu Xingluo naturally learned about it. He knew that this was the last chance to assassinate Chu Xingluo. If he failed to assassinate Chu Xingluo, he would be dead if he returned to Yunjun City.

He took advantage of the night to secretly find an empty corner, put on his nightgown, sneaked into the yard where Chu Xingluo lived, hid in a tree in the yard, and hid behind a thick branch. There was someone guarding the door of Chu Xingluo's room, so he could only wait for an opportunity and wait for Chu Xingluo to come out.

In fact, Chu Xingluo and Ximen Huan had already expected that the assassin would come again, especially when they were about to return to the city. There would be some chaos at this time, and the assassin would probably take advantage of the chaos to assassinate.

What the assassin didn't know was that as soon as he climbed into the yard, the Black Dragon guarding Chu Xingluo's door discovered him.

Heilong stood there quietly for a while, told Queying that he wanted to go into the house to drink some water, and then went into Long Yan and Qingyun's room. He whispered to them that an assassin had come, and they immediately came up with a plan.

That night, the assassin was captured alive by the efforts of several people. Seeing that he could not escape, the assassin bit his tongue and committed suicide. After searching his body several times, no useful information was found.

Qingyun suggested taking the body to the military camp for the soldiers to identify it. Long Yan stopped him, saying that even if his family was found, they would not know who had ordered him to do so. The matter was left unresolved.

A few days later, Lu Ting's team returned to Yunjun City first, followed by Chu Xinghai and Shan Tingfang's teams.

royal palace.

Lu Ting told the whole story, not forgetting Chu Xingluo's assassination. After hearing this, Emperor Ying asked anxiously, "How is the third brother?"

Xiao Feng was also shocked when he heard this. No wonder he didn't see Chu Xingluo. He strode up to Lu Ting and said, "General Lu, how is Prince Jing?" His tone was full of worry.

Prince of Xiang Chu Xinghai comforted Emperor Ying: "Father and General Xiao, don't worry. The third son is fine. It was Zhiying who blocked an arrow for the third son. Now they just have to wait for Zhiying to fully recover, and then they will come back."

He called Zhiying very kindly, and King Xuan Chu Xingyue snorted in his heart: Qingyun Longyan, those two dogs are still hiding it from me. But then he was shocked again. They didn't hide it from Chu Xinghai but only from him. Could it be that they already suspected that the assassin was his and Mu Huairen's people?

Mu Huairen's heart skipped a beat. The assassin he sent actually failed! No wonder there has been no news coming back!

After hearing this, Wei Mingcheng grabbed Chu Xinghai and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness Prince Xiang, when did my daughter go to Lion City? How did she get shot by an arrow? Is she in danger?"

"Prime Minister Wei, don't panic. I heard from Long Yan Qingyun a few days ago that the third brother was shot by an arrow. I went to visit him and found out that Zhiying was beside the third brother at that time. She discovered the assassin and stood behind him. However, Zhiying is fine now." Chu Xinghai said and glanced at Chu Xingyue.

Wei Mingcheng was relieved.

But Ye Linglong, who followed Lu Ting to the court to see Emperor Ying, was wondering in her heart, what was the relationship between this Zhiying they were talking about and Chu Xingluo? She actually blocked an arrow for Chu Xingluo? She was silent all the way, and she ignored Chu Xingyue's repeated attempts to talk to her. At this moment, she felt a little regretful. She should have asked him about Chu Xingluo's situation at that time.

Emperor Ying finally noticed Ye Linglong. Lu Ting hurriedly repeated what Xie Daorun had said, saying that the Princess of Xiling Kingdom had always heard that Yunjun City was extremely prosperous, so she followed.

"Your Majesty, I am Princess Wanshou of Xiling Kingdom, Ye Linglong. I came to Beiyue with General Lu this time. Firstly, I have always yearned for Yunjun City, and secondly, this is the purpose of my trip. I want to marry Chu Xingluo! Please grant us the marriage, Your Majesty!" Ye Linglong was not afraid at all.

After these words came out, the ministers present all looked at her, some admired her and some despised her. Those who admired her thought that Ye Linglong spoke directly what was in her mind, which was fair and aboveboard. Those who despised her thought that she was indeed a barbarian and lowly person, with no reserve at all and no sense of shame.

Of course, the expressions of Xiao Feng and several princes were also very interesting.

Xiao Feng knew Chu Xingluo's temper very well. He was deeply in love with Wei Zhiying and would definitely not agree.

Chu Xingyue glanced at Ye Linglong and thought: No wonder she ignored me, it turns out she has feelings for the third brother. With Wei Zhiying's temper, I'm afraid she will make a big fuss with you.

Chu Xinghai shook his head slightly. He also felt that this matter had an 80% chance of not succeeding, and it would be strange if Wei Zhiying agreed.

Emperor Ying coughed twice, "Prince Jing is married. If the princess wants to marry a man from North Vietnam, I will definitely find a good match for her. What do you think?" What he actually thought was that Lu Feiyu was not married yet, and if Ye Linglong was promised to Lu Feiyu, it would be a good thing. Of course, the most important thing was that he would definitely not agree to suddenly give Ye Linglong to the third brother.
